Chapter 4: Secrets

The night was falling, the lights on the side of the road were not on for some reason, and something seemed to be roaring in the night, accompanied by a strong wind. Little Cheap and I ran into the hotel as if we were running away, and then there was a muffled thunder, and the raindrops were eager and merciless to beat everything in the world.

"It's raining so well." Xiao Jie and I looked out the window through the glass door of the hotel, only to see ourselves on the door, and it was pitch black outside.

"Hello and welcome!" The lady at the front desk of the hotel said with a smile.

"Open two rooms!" After speaking, Xiao Cheap stretched out his hand to me again, "ID card." I reached out and reached out to him.

"Rooms 305 and 306, thank you." The front desk lady politely handed us two room cards and ID cards.

Before leaving, the little girl said to the woman: "Beauty, you are very beautiful! ”

"Slut." I said to the little.

"Hypocrite!" The little replied to me unceremoniously.

The hotel rooms are numbered by odd and even numbers on one side, so my room and I are just opposite each other. Shortly after I closed the door, there was a knock on the door.

When I opened the door, I saw that it was a woman with bright makeup, and without thinking about it, I pointed to the other side and said, "You knocked on the wrong door." ”

Watching the woman enter the little cheap's house, I was full of emotion, but I didn't know what to say.

Just as I was about to close the door, I noticed a small black bag at the door. I thought to myself that the woman must have fallen just now, so I bent down and picked it up. The bag is the kind of loose bag similar to a mobile phone case, there is no seal, and inside is a copper mirror. Curious, I took it out, as if I had seen it somewhere.

The next moment I remembered that this was the bronze mirror in Feng Yu's dream. I looked carefully at the back of the bronze mirror, and there was nothing strange about the simple carving of some patterns. I turned the bronze mirror over, looked at myself in the mirror, and thought to myself that it was time for me to catch up on sleep. Curious, I suddenly wanted to look at my past life, which I had never dared to look into my eyes before, because I didn't know what it would be like to go through the past again.

When I stared at my eyes in the mirror, I suddenly noticed that my eyes had changed abnormally, and there seemed to be a pupil in the pupil! When did I become a double pupil? What the hell is going on? Ever since I could feel other people's emotions through Feng Yu's memories, I always felt that something had changed in myself.

I concentrated my mind through my eyes, as if I had come to the door of a lively pavilion, where was this? I looked around in confusion as some men in satin rushed in. I also don't easily follow in the footsteps of others.

After entering the gate, you will find that there is a unique scenery here, and there are some flower garden rockeries built in the open space in the middle of the pavilion surrounded by four sides, and the fish in the pond swim happily.

I walked up the stairs slowly, watching everything in front of me, and at the same time guessing in my heart that this seemed to be an official kiln. At the same time, I also frowned heavily, was my previous life ...... No way! I said to myself firmly. If it were a woman, I would be reluctantly acceptable, but this is really beyond my ability to accept.

Unconsciously, I came to the door of a house, and the window suddenly opened, and I was greeted by a woman in a green shirt and green clothes, whose eyebrows seemed to reveal a little sadness. It was as if we were looking at each other at that moment, but I knew right away that it was impossible, that she couldn't see me.

The woman seemed to be waiting for someone, and sure enough, a man in splendid clothes came a moment later, with his hair tied high behind his head, and a paper folding fan in his hand, typical of a rich boy, but more like a gentleman. When he approached, I was really shocked, this person was exactly the same as Xiao Jianchang! Could he be Xiao Cheap's previous life? I was speechless by thunder, and I thought to myself that I would stay away from him in the future, and don't sleep together again.

Everything around me gradually blurred, and I came to a world full of white light, and then the flow of light surged as if traveling through time and space, making me a little dizzy, and I don't know how long it took for me to come to another place.

The mountains and rivers here are beautiful, colorful flowers grow everywhere, and a couple of children are playing among the flowers. Not far away is the endless sea of flowers, I've been here! I had a strong feeling in my heart that I had been here, but when had I been here, and how could I have forgotten. Suddenly, as if pulled away by a huge suction, I suddenly woke up in bed, and the bronze mirror lay quietly at my hand.

I wasn't sure if the sea of flowers I had just seen was a dream or something from the depths of my memory, but my feelings were so intense that it seemed like I belonged there.

I turned on my phone and looked, it was just after eight o'clock in the evening, I felt a little hungry and got up and went downstairs, but when I opened the door, I saw that the opposite door was full of blood! I hurriedly opened the door but saw nothing, and then I hurried downstairs, only to see a group of policemen around the hall, and in the middle of the body lying a corpse covered with a white cloth, I hurried over and trembled and lifted the white cloth, the little cheap smiled at me and said, "Haha, I was scared!" I was about to scold him, but suddenly blood flowed from his eyes and mouth, but he was still smiling and saying, "Haha, I'm scared......" I squatted on the ground in fright, but the surrounding police still stood expressionless as if they didn't see anything.

"Ah......h

I took my phone and looked at it, it was 8:03 p.m., I put away the bronze mirror on the side, and then knocked on the door of the little cheaper.

After he opened the door, I saw that this guy was wearing nothing, and the little cheap looked at me with a confused expression: "What are you doing?" Miss me? Do you want to sleep with me? After listening to Xiao Bei's words, I suddenly remembered what happened in my dream, and I couldn't help but feel nauseous, and immediately replied: "Baga, I'm here to check the ward!" ”

"Oh, Yo Xi, Taijun, I am a great good citizen!" Xiao Cheap immediately teased.

"You're still a good citizen!" I feel a little emotional, although it has been many years, the tacit understanding between me and Xiaobei has not diminished at all, and it often makes outsiders think that the two of us are a family.

When I walked into the house, I realized that there was another person here, the woman who knocked on the wrong door in the first place! I didn't pay much attention to her, but took a closer look at the facilities in the room. If that dream hinted at anything, I think there must be something unusual about this room. I tapped carefully on the walls of the room to see if there was any space for a mezzanine or something, but when I found nothing, I fell on the floor again, looked at the bottom of the bed, and then I felt a chill down my spine.

At the bottom of the bed lay a man, a corpse to be exact, with a pale face with deep-set eye sockets and purple lips. I screamed in fright, and the little cheap also lay down to look at it, but said something that made me even colder: "This is not the ...... Belle...... Is it? ”

"Yes...... "Listening to Xiao Bei say this, I realized that the body under the bed at this moment was the lady at the front desk of the hotel!

"What's so strange?" The woman on the bed smiled strangely and said, "I'm also a beauty!" I looked at the woman on the bed, the more I looked like the front desk lady in our mouth, and then my eye sockets gradually sunken, and my purple lips showed a terrible smile, and I felt that my whole head was big, and my head was about to explode......

I woke up again, another dream......

Strange things kept happening, and finally I simply locked myself in my room, and I was stuck in a terrible dream loop and couldn't wake up. I hope someone will come into my room to wake me up and get out of this terrible nightmare soon......

I don't know how long it took for me to think I was out of this terrible nightmare, but I was just confused.

"Sunset..."I suddenly saw the same white light that I had seen many times, and a vague figure was walking towards me, and I felt tired and sleepy, so I fell asleep. When I woke up again, I pinched myself hard and felt a pain in my heart to make sure I was really awake.

After waking up, I didn't fall asleep again, but used my mobile phone to log on to QQ, and the avatar of the sunset was gray and colorless, and I sent her a message to the past, and no one replied for a long time.

Early the next morning, I said goodbye to Xiaozi and took a taxi at the hotel and went straight back. When I got home, I slept hard, but I also had many dreams in bits and pieces. When I woke up again, it was early in the morning, and I washed up and went out, breathing in the fresh air of freedom, and feeling that everything was fine.

I tried hard to forget these things, and so many things had happened in just a few days that I felt a little tired.

After much hesitation, I still called Murong Yi to call me before parting.

"Hello, what's the matter?" It was a girl who was connected, but it wasn't Murong Yi's voice.

"May I ask if Murong Yi is here?" I said.

"Please wait...... a moment later, Murong Yi answered the phone, "Hello, who is it?" ”

"I'm ...... I am...... Circumference. I stammered, "I'd like to ask, Sunset...... Are you alright? Can I go over and have a look? ”

There was a pause on the other side of the phone and he said, "Yes." "Then Murong Yi sent me an address, and when I arrived, I found that this place was very remote, from the outside it was a very ordinary cement house, Murong Yi received me at the door, and after entering, I found that the laboratory was built underground. There were many people coming and going, and Murong Yi didn't say much along the way, and I was a little embarrassed, after all, we had only met once. The laboratory is a large basement with partitions and is filled with state-of-the-art instruments. I followed Murong Yi all the way to the innermost area, and then I saw Sunset, she was wearing headphones on her head, and she was flipping through some photo albums.

Murong Yi patted her and said, "Your friend is coming to you." Sunset turned to look at me and smiled. When I offered to be alone with Xiluo for a while, Murong Yi smiled and walked away.

"Sunset, have you ever seen this thing?" I took out the bronze mirror and handed it to Sunset.

"I don't remember." I shook my head in anticipation.

"And do you remember who you are?" I say.

Xiluo also shook her head, but I already had a rough idea in my heart, Xiluo and Feng Yu imagined it like this, and now that Feng Yu is gone, who supports the research project here? It's clear that they're not an official institution, because I haven't seen anything iconic since I came in.

At this moment, the sunset in front of me is very likely to be a "mirror image", and I had this guess in Feng Yu's memories, but I couldn't believe it. Ever since I took that bronze mirror, I felt weird, and more often than not, I felt like I wasn't myself at all. And I'm gradually forgetting some things, always feeling that I forgot something very important but can't remember anything.

Sunset played with the bronze mirror repeatedly, and gradually picked up the mirror and looked at it. I was still chatting with Sunset, and suddenly I noticed that Sunset's pupils contracted, and I caught it in a fleeting moment.

"What's wrong with you?" I asked with concern.

"It's fine." Sunset smiled at me with a charming smile and couldn't see anything out of the ordinary. But because it was too perfect, it only made my suspicions even heavier. While we were talking, Murong Yi walked over and motioned for me to come with her.

"What's the matter?" I asked.

"The professor wants to see you." Murong Yi said.

Entering a separate room made of partitions, Professor Han was reading some ancient characters with his eyes on. It looked like some inscriptions, and it was taken as a photo and uploaded to the screen display on the table. The professor first gave me a photo album of antiques. Among them is the bronze mirror I showed to Sunset just now.

"Did you find anything?" The professor said.

I thought about it for a moment and decided to trust them, after all, they knew more than I knew and had more expertise than I did. So I told him what I thought. After hearing this, the professor said with a solemn face: "What you said is only an approximation, and it cannot be proved. The object of our research is the sunset, and I also found the bronze mirror you mentioned, but there is more than one side. After the professor finished speaking, he took out the mirror that was exactly the same as the one in my hand, as well as the Huayang mirror that Murong Yi took out in the ancient temple.

The professor told me that Xiluo was originally a student of his, specializing in ancient culture, but they had an accident while they were investigating ruins in a mountain village in Yunnan. Sunset was bitten by a strange black snake, although it was treated in time, but after coming back, Sunset's body changed, first the skin fell off a layer of skin, and then the whole person became weird, as if it was a different person, and she especially liked to take the bronze mirror that she brought back from the mountain village, until she forgot who she was. The professor showed me the photos before Sunset, just an ordinary girl, and the current Sunset is basically two people!

"What's going on with the ancient temple?" I asked.

Murong Yi opened his mouth and said, "I don't know much about the things in the ancient temple, but those monks seem to be holding some kind of ritual for the sunset, which may be related to the ancient pagoda. ”

"Why do you say that?" I continued.

"Didn't you notice? That ancient tower is eight-storey! Murong Yi said, "The odd number of Buddhist architecture is yang, even and yin, pay attention to righteousness and light, gather heaven and earth righteousness, but that tower is just the opposite, the eighth floor has become a tower of gathering yin." ”

I also thought it strange to hear her say this, because the tower was originally used as a tower and a building to preserve the burial relics. Legend has it that after Shakyamuni attained Nirvana, his disciples cremated him and obtained many colorful, crystal clear and unbreakable beads, which were relics. In order to express their devotion to the Buddha's beliefs, believers rushed to make offerings, and a tower was created to preserve the relics. Later, the remains of the bones and teeth of the respected monks after their death were also called relics. Such a tower of gathering yin, I don't know what it will be, but what does all this have to do with the sunset? I tried to recall the time when I went to the ancient temple in my early years, but I couldn't remember how many floors the ancient pagoda was.

"And we found that these bronze mirrors are capable of emitting a special electromagnetic wave when they are picked up!" Murong Yi said, "It can affect people's minds. ”

Murong Yi's words surprised me a little, if these ancient mirrors were all made by craftsmen more than two thousand years ago, how could they have this kind of technology? But the sunset has become like this, and it is obvious that it is related to the bronze mirror, but the sunset I guess is a mirror image of Feng Yu cannot be accurately proven. It seems that the only way to go to the ancient tower is to go again, and there must be a reason why Sunset is there for no reason. So I discussed with the professor and them to go to the ancient tower again and solve the mystery. The professor also said that he had this intention, but he just asked me to participate as an outsider, and it was difficult to explain if there was any accident. I patted my chest and promised that everything was of my own free will, and if there was any accident, it was time to go to heaven to drink tea and play chess with God.

After leaving the laboratory, Murong Yi took me to another place, which was quite high-end, upstairs in a relatively high-end café. It sold all kinds of outdoor products, including some contraband and other controlled knives. Sunset gave me a stun baton, and I carefully put it away.

"You also drove this place?" I say.

"The boss opened it." Murong Yi said.

I wonder if the backer behind these industries will be Feng Sandao, but it's hard to ask. After all, I didn't tell them about Feng Yu, and fundamentally, I didn't trust them. The things that the professor told me sounded logical, but in fact there were many loopholes. It's just that it's inconvenient for me to debunk it in person, so it's better to take one step at a time and follow them to get more clues.

"What are you thinking?" Murong Yi asked.

"Nothing." I deliberately looked into Murong Yi's eyes, but she looked away again. Murong Yi must have hidden something from me, I want to find a chance to see all this.

After buying some things, Murong Yi took me downstairs to the café to make a cup of coffee. Many people in the hall looked over here, probably because Murong Yi was a regular visitor and I was a newcomer. At one point, it could be seen that most of the people in the café were their own people. Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly noticed a person next to me.
